How I expected the A24 Robin Hood trailer to go.

[haunting sound]
[1 piano note]
"We're men"
[1 more piano note]
"We're men in tights"
[three bass thuds]
"We roam around the forest..."
[1 piano note]
"...looking for fights"
[one bass thud]

It's incredible what kind of photos you can take in a moving car.

Also ally.

Deli is slang for penis in Icelandic.

I've used ChatGPT for some coding snippets and to "search" for things when I don't know what words I should use to search for, like this (not sure that's even the correct answer for that)

Oh and the one place where it was useful, I bought a house recently and it gave me a list of useful purchases

Lol, apparently I use ChatGPT so little that they're emailing me to teach me how it works.

Happy Holidays, with some jam on the side.

Ahh, to be as useful as a roadside webcam in Iceland during winter.

"take the express elevator, get off where you hear the noise"

that's not how elevators work.

As an Atmospheric 3d Space Landscape artist i hate when people make Atmospheric 3d Space Landscape art similar to mine without crediting me.

I work hard on clicking that "generate mountain" button and then people just steal my work.

I just realized that I can doomscroll on my TV, and now nothing will ever get done ever.

I got a video call from one of the Icelandic Santas. He didn't wanna tell me my naughty/nice status.

I asked him if he was coming to Norway. He didn't know what that was.

Aww, someone put the yellow box and "jam on the side" in my home town on Wplace.

But of course (and validly) it's all about Stefán Karl being number 1.

Today I learned that Bonnie Bedelia (Holly from Die Hard) has an older brother named Kit Culkin, which is the dad of Macaulay and Kieran Culkin.

There are excellent video game names, and then there is "RV There Yet?"

Remember DOOM in Space? Recently CrunchLabs had a thing where you could upload a photo and they would take a "selfie" of that photo in space.

So of course I had to use a DOOM in Space photo.

Now it's DOOM in Space ... in Space.

Some years ago I used this "Who is your celeb look-alike" app and it kept giving me Angela Merkel, no matter what photo I used.

I don't understand the new Reddit layout, my PC is not a mobile device.

Here's an example, on the new layout, I can see 1 post and the title of a 2nd one and I have to scroll and scroll to see more

On the old layout, I can see all the info on 19 posts at once. No scrolling needed.
